last season simply unwatchable

It went off the rails pretty quickly. Episode 1 was a solid murder mystery story, and then it turned into Telepath vs Gay Joker.

It's not wrong.

They realised that most of the online buzz about it comes from American women. And while they are inane human beings, they are also a reliable TV-watching audience.
So they pandered to them to make more bux from the foreign advertisers and syndication

hubris

the last season was all over the place

episode 1 was a classic episode, with a surprisingly dark ending
kind of shitty compared to the great episode, but it's okay

episode 2 was my faveourite, I love how the suspense is kept until the very end with the serial killer guy
the actor who played him was brilliant, and the blurring between mind and reality was cool

episode 3 was shit, just Saw-tier """disturbing""" nonsense

Same reason why doctor who sucks now
